Why Heighington is different from the rest of Darlington

Heighington is a rural pocket inside Darlington, and the practical realities on site aren't the same as a generic Darlington job. We plan around outbuilding rooflines and exposed weather-facing elevations. That's why this page exists separately to ourDarlington page— the work, access and finishes are typically different even when the postcode is shared.
